IMO, and that of many others, checking for a floppy in the drive

is a reasonable suggestion in these circumstances.

So is praying to God for a miracle.
Or checking that the drive platters have gone U-shaped in case the earth
has gone flat as a pancake suddenly and the harddrive wasn't told about it.

What exactly did you not understand in
" Because its very unlikely indeed that that is the problem
*WITH THAT PARTICULAR ERROR MESSAGE*".
 
.... Read carefully the
part that says "press any key to restart" and tell me how that is
different from pressing "CTRL+ALT+DEL"

Computers are programmed to give specific messages depending
on determined conditions. If condition A generates "message A"
and condition B generates "message B" then by observing "message B"
one can assume that condition B occured.
Simply saying that "message A" is wrong because programmer should
use "message B" instead is quite a different story.
